“You spent part of your childhood in the care of a group of stern monks. Living several years with an austere monastic order taught you focus and patience.”— Game manual, Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader

You spent part of your childhood in the care of a group of stern monks. Living several years with an austere monastic order taught you focus and patience. The monks encouraged you to study for long hours. This arduous training grants you +10 skill points, reflecting the broad range of studies you pursued at the monastery. However, you never forgot the hard, frugal lifestyle of the monks, so you never feel right about accumulating too much gold. If you see ten gold pieces on the ground, you take nine, and leave one piece for someone less fortunate over the course of your adventure, you will find 10% less wealth.[1]
